Thanks for your information.
A question on the Shannon/Zarkov exchange:  Do I interpret it right
that Zarkov has a publicly available engine interface ? ( That would
be very interesting, almost as interesting as publicly available
Fritz-engine interface. ) Or has Mr. de Ruyscher personal connections
to the Zarkov team ?

There is a difference. Mr. Langer never confessed to have used programs
or engines of other computer chess authors.

For me this would explain why I got a very uninformed answer from TASC
when I asked a technical question concerning TheKing 2.54 some weeks
ago.
